Frequently asked questions.What is an unlocked phone?

An unlocked phone is a phone that isn’t tied to a specific carrier. When you purchase an unlocked Pixel phone, you get to choose which carrier or plan works best for you. Most phones in the Google Store come unlocked.

Important: Pixel phones work with all major carriers. But not all Pixel 4a (5G) and later phones have 5G functionality on all 5G networks. See a list of certified carriers to make sure your phone works on its 5G network.

To use a SIM-unlocked phone:
1. Buy an unlocked Pixel phone from the Google Store.
2. Contact a mobile carrier.
3. Follow their instructions to set up your phone with their service plan.

What is eSIM?

eSIM technology allows you to add a cellular plan to your Pixel 8a, without using a physical SIM card. Pixel 8a will arrive ready to activate with eSIM. You will need a Wi-Fi connection for setup.

If you choose to connect to a carrier after you buy your Pixel 8a, you will need to contact your carrier to activate with an eSIM.

What is the difference between connecting my Pixel now with a carrier and connecting it later?

The Google Store offers carrier activation with AT&T and Verizon. If you activate with a carrier now, we’ll connect your Pixel to your account.

AT&T customers: Once you receive your new Pixel, call AT&T to complete your activation. Your Pixel will arrive ready to go with your number and plan information. If you connect with a carrier later, once your new Pixel arrives, you can insert a physical SIM card or use eSIM from any carrier that provides service for Pixel.

Does Pixel 8a have 5G network compatibility?
Yes, Pixel 8a works with 5G networks. The type of 5G service depends on both the phone model and the carrier network. Learn more about 5G.
What is included in the Pixel 8a box?
Your Pixel 8a purchase comes with a 1 m USB-C® to USB-C® cable (USB® 2.0), Quick Start Guide, Quick Switch Adapter (for data transfer), and SIM tool. Pixel 8a does not come with a 30W USB-C Power Charger, but that can be purchased separately.
How does the Google Store trade-in program work?
You can trade in Google Pixel phones and phones from most other manufacturers. How much you will get for your trade-in depends on the phone, model, manufacturer, and condition. During your purchase of a new Pixel phone, answer a few questions accurately, and once we receive the phone within the specified time frame and verify its condition, you’ll most likely receive the full amount of the estimated refund. Keep in mind that our trade-in partner needs to receive your phone within 30 days of receiving your new phone, and the condition needs to match what you told us. Learn more about Google Store trade-in.
What is Preferred Care?
Preferred Care is worry-free protection for your device, which provides mechanical breakdown coverage (after the one-year manufacturer’s warranty) and covers accidental damage (including drops, liquid resistance failures, and cracks). You can also get access to participating walk-in centers for screen repairs and unlimited access to specially trained agents whenever you call. Available 24/7. Best of all, you can pay for the coverage in a single payment or via monthly installments. Learn more about Preferred Care.
How do I switch from an Android phone or an iPhone to Pixel?
Switching to Pixel is easy. You can transfer your stuff, like photos or messages, from your old phone to your Pixel in a few simple steps. Learn more about switching to Pixel.
Where can I find setup instructions and tips?
Move your stuff over, personalize your settings, and explore Pixel features to get the most out of your phone. Get to know Google Pixel.
Who should I contact if I have questions about my Pixel purchase?

Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 8, Pixel 8a: For “over 24 hours”: Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby, and use of other features. Average battery life during testing was at least 31 hours. For “Up to 72 hours”: Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby, and use of limited other features that are default in Extreme Battery Saver mode (which disables various features including 5G connectivity). For both claims: Battery testing conducted on a major US carrier network in California in late 2023 on pre-production hardware and software using default settings, except that, for the “up to 72 hours” claim only, Extreme Battery Saver mode was enabled. Tests began with phones fully charged. Battery life depends upon many factors and usage of certain features will decrease battery life. Actual battery life may be lower.

Pixel Fold: Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby, and use of other features.
